Actually, no, I knew you meant AoIR.  That was my point.  There are 
certainly enough humanities folks in the mix here -- and that 
shouldn't be a secret by now -- that we're not just a special 
outreach program of an association founded by old school quantitative 
researchers (especially since I suspect the likes of Steve Jones and 
Nancy Baym wouldn't recognize themselves in that light anyway)
